My favorite part about this tournament was seeing Nepo friendly with Magnus and Nodirbek, considering he and Magnus are two great rivals, and he and Nodirbek had some drama recently on the SCC online.
8:55 d5 should be the right one here. But hard to find with only 10sec on the clock. I also only found it because the eval bar signalized Rf6 is a mistake. After you know it, the first thing you calculate is d5 since it deals with the threat of bc6 while also pushing for something more than a draw, since the move opens some lines and makes room for some tactical play.
Has everybody started adjusting pieces lol? I don't know if many people did this before, but it seems Magnus has left a big influence on these guys. I did not see one person not adjust their prices.
This video is so good! 99.9% of magnus videos are from the perspectie of magnus... and it is great to see, how he (how we!!) are destroying the opponent...but to see how hard it is to play him is great. It explains, why his opponents almost always are in zeitnot
@@Nafim-kv6rg I referred his game in World Rapid and Blitz 2022 , where he came 2 and half minutes late to the board and still managed to win the game.
It wouldn't be surprising that Carlsen needs 64 seconds in a closed strategical position. I don't know how many players would dare to play the French Defense against Carlsen after all. Fact, Carlsen has faced the French Defense much less than 1% of his total career games.
I think the engine would say castle is fine, but humanly thinking the rook lift is coming both knights can jump in the queen and bishop aim at the king side… it’s asking for trouble in this time format. Because after castle your king is stuck behind the rook.
nothing wrong with castle, but in this kind of setups kf8 is pretty solid as well, and h6-g6 usually works well to expel any peace in h5, control g5 and rook on h8 backing h6 is enoguh to hang the structure for any quick attack
The end of the game occurs at 10:43 when they are shaking hands, black just resigned the game. You can shake hands to agree to a draw as well but if there were no draw offer ( and there wasn't ) then if you give your hand for handshake it means you are resigning and you lose.
@@peterhogeveen6499 White has Rook vs bishop and all of whites pawns are on opposite colors & whites king is set to gobble up all of the pawns and win easily.
Why was there no checkmate with queen d2 h6 sacrifice following up with bishop takes h6 and than knight guards the other squares I tought. But I’m missing something and I don’t know what.
6:37 After Nf6, why didn't Arjun just take on f6, trade queens and then play Nd7? There's no way for Magnus to defend the pawn and basically no counterplay?
I would never trade a bishop for a knight because, in the endgame, a bishop is generally stronger than a knight. In this game, Arjun's king is on a dark square. If you trade your dark-square bishop and queen, and Magnus manages to keep his dark-square bishop, it will be challenging for Arjun. Additionally, after Bxf6, the game could turn upside down if the moves aren't precise, as you would have opened up your position, and his rook is already on g3. Magnus can keep his rook there, and after a few trades, he can bring his other rook to c6, making it difficult to manage in a blitz game, especially against someone like Magnus. 18...Bxf6 19.exf6 Qxd2+ 20.Bxd2 Nd7 21.Rc1 Nxf6 22.Ne5 Ne4 23.Rf3 Rh7 24.Nxc6 Nxd2 25.Kxd2 bxc6 26.Rxc6 g5 27.Bd3 Rg7 28.hxg5 hxg5 29.Rh3 Bd7 21.h5 g5 22.Rc1 22.Nxg5 hxg5 23.Rxg5 Nxf6...
Look at the eval bar. White has a rook against black’s white bishop which is a bad one as all the pawns are blocking it, and white king has infiltrated to the white side and is about to chop off all the black pawns.
White had a rook which is more powerful than black's bishop, even more during the end stages. Black's bishop is a white square bishop which cannot attack white's pawn which are all on black squares. Black position is hopeless, cos he does have any piece to defend the pawns. Therefore black surrendered to the inevitable.

No era necesario ese Rf8 y tambien muy mala dxc4, juego francesa y creo que pudo jugar mucho mejor Arjun tenia una muy buena posicion, no tenia porque temerle al enroque corto tenia buenas ideas en el flanco de dama y el cambio de damas asegurado, me va atocar darle clases de francesa a Arjun
Magnus will never play with Niemann from this day onwards no matter what even if it means withdrawing from the Speed Chess Championship when Niemann qualifies for the Semi-Final.
Highly doubt it. In this tournament everyone took breaks if they wanted so it was completely within the rules, but leaving a tournament is a very serious breach of contract. Also Nieman has to go through So, which I don't think he will tbh, but I'd absolutely love to see them meet in the semifinal!
@@Mihir69420 Would love to see a Magnus - Niemann match but knowing Magnus he is eccentric and fairly stubborn so I still think he would withdraw. He has much to lose and nothing to win if he plays Niemann.
i love that magnus and nepo high five best buddies
nepo looks kinda sassy as well
They are really strong!
Nepo has crush on magnus 💀
Zesty ahh five
That was gay
Magnus thinking for 64 seconds❌
Magnus cooking for 64 seconds✅
Magnus and nepo dapping after the win was the best part😂
Every match
Magnus and Nepo high fiving in relief - what a compliment to Arjun!
I think they high five is more because they won the tournament
Indian glaze xd

They’re on the same team, so yes, they will congratulate a win
What are you on about? Magnus and Nepo have been on extremely good terms for like 15+ years now
Weakens the queen side then cancelled the attack. A level above anyone else
Magnus sighs at the end ❤
Oooo he breathes. Oh my goodness, wow
10:48 god tier dap from my goat
9:15 "Put your rook there, I won't take it I swear."
Great to see The GOAT always takes time to set up the board after each game. A very modest and classy guy.
wow Magnus killed it with this one slowly, inevitably outplayed his opponent
Magnus is the GOAT!🔥🔥🔥
Hans is the real goat.
@@daygrindmike8913not in a million years
10:48
the recoil on the dab was music to the ears
Arjun had set a nasty trap at the very end even in such a hopeless position
Magnus wasn't having any of it
What a beast😂
Arjun's nasty trap was resigning
Who made this hopeless position of arjun, think of it before saying😂
@@iShowSparkkk Who?
@@Phurngirathaana one and onlg magnus carlson
@@iShowSparkkkhmm i disagree it's Arjun's fault for being a lameass chess player i could probably win against him myself
More satisfaying than Nepos handshake in 10:49 was Gustafson nicking in 10:50 :D
6:47 when you know that you are winner, So proud Nepo
He can afford to stop and think. He plays so fast towards the end that his clock is effectively going backwards.
Goat is a goat is a goat... french, caros, pirc and modern. To Graveyard already in move 1.for Goat
Magnus coming back to put his pieces back is so cute lol

Even I do it all the time, its just when world no.1 did it, people started noticing
I thought that this was a Kasparov habit
@@commentwarriorNah definitely not even remotely close to everyone
@@williamrobert9898 do you even play chess tournaments?
6:48 Qxh6+ followed by Bxh6# is illegal since the queen is pinned in case you were wondering.
noone wondering.
@@LazyAlphaX I wondered half a second
Cool. I didnt see it. Apparently, Arjun made it pinned right after Magnus move the queen in position.
This video is so good!

Arjun had defeated Magnus in another match..good to see new rising players are coming up, taking on and winning against MC..kudos..
Nepo's reactions 🥵
Bro has experience of playing whole game in 30 seconds so these are all nothing for him 😂
Online vs On the board
@@Nafim-kv6rg I referred his game in World Rapid and Blitz 2022 , where he came 2 and half minutes late to the board and still managed to win the game.
@@chesswithsamarth1004 ohh i see.But still his opponent gave him opportunity.He played so slowly in that game to make the time even
6:54 mate in 2 if queen isnt pinned.
GOOD PLAY BYY BOTH 🎉❤❤

So weird this celebration in total silence 😂
Other people might still be playing so it's rude to talk
ARJUN lives up to his Name, The Warrior 🏹
Thanks for all The Videos and kudos to all the editing (great thumbnails & captions)👏
Can anyone please tell me why at 5:18 black didn't castle? Thx.

@@KappaBoba thank you so much... sorry i didnt get back sooner
@@fabriciosimoncelli thank you, too!
6:14 he may have played knight to b4 the best move actually 😊
That was a crisp dap up
Nerd.
How was that the end of the game? Time? Obvious checkmate?

I love the titles you use. You are really good at marketing what makes each game unique 😊
Why aren't they castling.they were also supposed to trade queens
missing sagar shahs commentary
He is death
What a come back
If magnus is taking time, he is thinking about your funeral process.
i dont understand anything but i like the pressure, tension and the body language from magnus
I really like Arjun. Even though he is a very weak player, I like his style and I support him a lot
Very weak player? Stfu if you know nothing about chess thanks
lmao wats ur rating?
Very weak player?
Where can buy FIDE Chess board DGT
Eternal love for Magnus
Why was there no checkmate with queen d2 h6 sacrifice following up with bishop takes h6 and than knight guards the other squares I tought. But I’m missing something and I don’t know what.
Got it the queen is pinned 👍
Arjun really is a beast mode player.
Should have taken with the knight instead of pawn
Yes
What if from the position of 7:11 black sacrifices the knight and if pawn takes bishop takes pawn and queen is trapped right?
Do you mean sacrificing with Nb4? White has the knight on c2 defending b4 as well.
6:37 After Nf6, why didn't Arjun just take on f6, trade queens and then play Nd7? There's no way for Magnus to defend the pawn and basically no counterplay?

Who won between Nodirbek and pranav venkatesh on the side board
Pranav
Weird not to look at someone when you shake their hand
7:52 is Magnus allowed to talk to other people during the game?
You SAW him do it and you still don't know?
nepo got a zesty ahh high five
Is this a tie or a resign game? I think at the end tue black still have potential to make next move?
Look at the eval bar. White has a rook against black’s white bishop which is a bad one as all the pawns are blocking it, and white king has infiltrated to the white side and is about to chop off all the black pawns.
How did Magnus win? can someone explain?

Who is the the player who give a handshake for magnus at thé end of the game please
Erjun’s bishop needed to be in the opposite diagonal quarter.
omg so nerf wrecking those last couple seconds😂
Someone tell me who win
magnus is strong when it comes to Blitz. How many times has he been champion
It's just mentally hard for anyone to undeveloped a knight or bishop knowing it's the best move.
Magnus' end game is so good.
4:30 is the clip Ure searching for according to title
It's nice to see I'm not the only one with terrible time management. 😓
Nepo always caught my attention lol
Magnus Carlsen ❤🥰 my favourite 🥰
magnus missed mate in 2 ..it was easy mate queen sacrifice ...Qh6 Rh6 and Bh6 mate
ohhh queen was pinn
Endgame god
10:48 perfect dap!!??
Clearly lovers
Black should’ve left the queen side alone and tried to make knightb4 work
Arjun is India's Best, after few more games, he would be unbeatable.
Who's win?
Draw?
Magnus early to a game. Woah
How did chess masters like Nepo learn to extend their necks and traverse the chess floors to nail these iconic eyebrow raising headshots.
Love this
Did nepo also win?
Where is the voiceover bro
Why do I see nepo always sitting beside magnus?
Who won this?
magnus
formidable battle until the very end. well done arjun
